Consider the following phrase taken from a draft of my master's thesis:
In this chapter, the fundamental physiological principles will be presented that underlie the mathematical models and simulations of the subsequent chapters.
Is it grammatically correct to delay the relative clause ("...that underlie...") as I did? If yes, is it considered good style?
An obvious alternative would be
In this chapter, the fundamental physiological principles that underlie the mathematical models and simulations of the subsequent chapters will be presented.
but this is - in my opinion, that is - harder to read due to the relative clause separating subject and verb ("principles ... will be presented").
Also see the great The Science of Scientific Writing on the matter of subject-verb separation.
